If you are searching for ways to stay cozy in your Kingwood home while saving money, you might want to consider upgrading your thermostat. Thermostats have come a long way from setting the temperature and walking away and Finch has a variety of options to meet your individual needs.
The most common types of thermostats are programmable and smart thermostats, and there are a number of options and features from Finch .
What is the difference between programmable and smart thermostats? - Programmable thermostats mean you can pre-set temperatures for a number of times of the day and week. You can setup the thermostat so that it gives you different temperatures during the day when no one is in your house, or at night when everyone is snoozing. There’s no need to expend energy and money to keep the house cool or warm when it’s empty, so a programmable thermostat helps you save money by setting the temperature automatically. You can leave with one less thing to worry about.
- Smart thermostats take it another step and are more intuitive. They follow the temperature adjustments that you make and learn from your behavior which allows it to begin making adjustments on its own. Quite a few of the newer and more advanced thermostats use your home’s Wi-Fi network, allowing you to control your home’s temperature throughout your home using an app through your phone or computer. These thermostats can often be arranged to gather your energy usage statistics on a website.
Whether you pick a programmable thermostat or smart thermostat will be dependent on your individual needs, budget and familiarity with technology. While smart thermostats cost a tad more because of the additional features, both programmable and smart thermostats are decent ways to save on your energy expenses while making sure you are comfy in your Kingwood home.
